THIS IS IT!!!, Monday, September 8, 20205
We did it!!!
The last set of irrigation water has occurred. Tomorrow, Terry will turn off the water to the farm. The only time we will turn it back on is if we don’t get any rain and the alfalfa starts to suffer.
We are not only winding down. We have WOUND down!
(The irrigation water stays in the canal until the first week in November. Many farms below us still have crops to irrigate. It’s just that we are done.
The canal is not done.
YAY!

Next Day, Marble, Colorado, —Monday, July 14, 2025
One thing Wayne had always wanted to do (as an adult) was to go to Marble, Colorado
(Click on the blue to learn more)
So off we went!
Touring the old factory site, going up to the Mine Entrance
And eating at the famous BBQ spot. It wasn’t too busy that day, we only had a 30 minute wait.
Marble! A fun place to visit. An interesting place to learn about. And Good Company!
Perfect!

Little Chirrups and Hums, and Even Beautiful Silence, Monday, June 9, 2025
I try to be silent
Not loud, so I can see all those wonderful little creatures
I love seeing what I can see
These amazing lithe animals
Of Which moves as silently as a whisper
So when I see them, I try to softly enjoy each.
Yugen (noun): A profound awareness of the Universe that triggers feelings too deep and mysterious for words.

We Took a Wee Trip—Just a Tiny One, Monday, June 2, 2025
On Sunday, we decided to do some more traveling.
We turned onto the Canna Creek Road, just before Whitewater, Colorado,
Then traveled up the Land’s End Road to the Reeder Mesa turn-off
What a treat!
Lots of building going on up there, BUT
Like I showed you earlier, this Pronghorn ran alongside us for a goodly little way. It was
acting like he/she was looking for its herd.
Then we entered Whitewater, Colorado, and drove to Grand Junction to eat ribs at Texas Roadhouse.
Back home before the heat built up into sweltering.
A good day for sure!
Fernweh (n): An ache for distant places; a craving for travel.

I Can Sometimes Feel the Throbbing of the Earth, Monday, May 5, 2025
Plus the strumming of the Earth’s vibrations
As spring starts warming the air—in a more substantial way.
My lilacs froze this year (along with all the fruit), but this late bloom made it—to lift the spirits of anyone who passes by.
We had a cold front move through, bringing back winter sunrises—just for a couple of days
Here is our headgate (the long metal box) where time always seems to stand still —- the roaring, tumbling water mesmerizing!
Spring so full of life that sometimes you can feel the earth humming.
Gokotta yo-‘kot-tah—Swedish (n.): “Dawn picnic to hear the first birdsong; the act of rising in the early morning to watch the birds or to go outside to appreciate nature.

That Hour Before Dawn Changes into —- HOPE, Monday, January 27, 2025
Once the sun comes the momentum of Hope is more like Confidence!
Good Morning, Sunshine!!!
